Testing on Lake Garda
As the official distributor for Factor in northern Poland, we are thrilled to share our riding impressions of the Factor Ostro VAM 2.0, a model that confidently sets new standards in performance and design. We had the opportunity to test it intensively over a week at Lake Garda, where we were impressed by its comfort, superbly optimized aerodynamics, and stunning aesthetics. Factor perfectly aligns with our standards, and the Ostro VAM model has quickly become one of our bestsellers.
In-Depth Experience with the Ostro VAM at Lake Garda
Throughout the week, riding scenic routes with long climbs and dynamic descents, the Ostro VAM 2.0 continued to surprise us with its perfect balance between racing aggressiveness and comfort, making it a fantastic choice for long distances. The frame stiffness was exceptional on Strava segments and tight corners, where the bike held steady and predictable. Weighing only 7 kg (in the top configuration with Bike Ahead Aero wheels and a full Shimano Dura-Ace 12s group), the bike met our expectations across all terrains, from snow-covered climbs to the sunny shores of the lake.
Versatility Across All Terrains
The Ostro VAM 2.0 is ideal for anyone looking for a versatile, all-purpose road bike. Officially, it accommodates tires up to 32 mm, though with the right rims, it can handle up to 35 mm. The Black Inc Aero handlebar not only looks impressive but also provides exceptional stiffness, especially during intense sprints. CeramicSpeed bearings included in the premium package are a great addition, ensuring smooth rides and increased durability. At our shop, we offer full customization for your bike – from colors to stem length and choice of drivetrain. Contact us to receive a personalized offer.
